I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Mastercard (Copenhague, Hovedstaden) in Nov 2023
Interview
Had a (what I felt was a fantastic) interview with HR. I had researched the product and actually gone through some Mastercard published articles which I spoke through in the interview. I had questions, answered succinctly. The recruiter said I'm a good fit and that the next step would be a chat with the hiring manager. Lo and behold, the dreaded auto rejection email 3 days later. Upon requesting more helpful feedback, I got told that "I said a couple of times that I wanted Mastercard on my CV" so I was rejected for that reason. Beware folks. Your achievements do not count, only how you stroke company egos that count.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mastercard (Dublín, Dublín) in Oct 2022
Interview
It is quite achievable process. The first round is nice and easy. The main difficulty is in the technical round. I excelled the technical round and got my first internship.
